The clojurians zulip chat[1] offers a free, full-text-searchable archive of slack.
Also, IMHO it's much better than slack for chatting. If only everyone switched!

It's probably me but I can never seem to get Zulipchat to work for basic things like pulling up the history of #jobs.

A lot of ppl is active on https://clojureverse.org/ though, but sure, it would be nice to have a permanent log for clojurians too.
Do you have any idea what it takes for Slack to record the history and make it available? Is is very expensive? I know they charge individual users for the service of seeing far back into the past, not sure if they make that free for any particular communities.
Slack's official pricing starts at $6.67 per seat per month, and Clojurians is a very big Slack. Sometimes they comp slacks, but Clojurians is apparently not important enough for that and/or Slack is big enough now they don't have to care :)

> I'm sure someone has logs
Yep Arne Brasseur runs https://clojurians-log.clojureverse.org/, though integrated logs would be better of course.
Same for Elixir. I actually intentionally ask certain questions on the IRC channel if I think they're worth ending up in someone's search request. It's vexing.

I've actually had a ton of luck with site:clojurians-log.clojureverse.org for searching through the slack history.
Hard to move a community though.
